If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past five years of running my business, it’s how to be really good at repelling new clients and customers. And I say that sort of sarcastically, but I’ve definitely had my fair share of mistakes for each one of these points. By conquering my own mishaps and by […]

Soon after we found out we were expecting baby #2, I started thinking about what my maternity leave would look like. With my first maternity leave, it was easy. I only had project-based clients, so my only priority was making sure each of those projects were wrapped up before Baby Genther #1 decided to arrive […]

Collaborating with another creative business owner can be super awesome. First off, it’s so nice to be able to bounce ideas off each other, especially when you’re so used to being holed up in your own little cave making every decision yourself. It also gives you a chance to feed off the other person’s energy. […]

GOALS ARE BACK! And for good reason – I need the accountability. With not as much time to get things done and a good dose of “baby brain” (I swear it’s even worse than “pregnancy brain”), I’m all over the place and things have been hanging on my to-do list for quite a while now. […]

First, let’s talk about the importance of saying ‘no’. When you’re first starting your business, I believe that saying ‘yes’ is how you build your business. However, once you get to a certain point — maybe you’re booked solid, you’re reaching your income goals each month, or whatever it may be that makes you feel […]

Life these days is anything but typical, but I thought I’d share with you what a random day looks like for me. I’ve always found this really helpful when others shared, especially as you’re entering a new phase of life (i.e. with a new baby, with a new job, with a new business, etc), so […]

Today’s Creative Crush interview is with one of my favorite online ladies, Amber McCue. I first talked to Amber last year when a mutual biz friend introduced us, we jumped on a mini mastermind sesh and the rest is history. Since then, I’ve hired her, she’s hired me and the circle of business just keeps going round […]

I’m back with a new Creative Crush interview. Today’s interview is with Alison Monday from tiny blue orange. If you’ve worked with me in the past, chances are you know Alison. She is the go-to-developer on my team. I use her for all of my websites, as well as my clients, so it’s safe to say that I […]

Welcome to a new series on the blog. I’ve been wanting to do an interview series like this for a while. And the start of maternity leave seemed like a great time to get started. The Creative Crush Interview series is where I take you behind-the-computer screen of my favorite online entrepreneurs. It also gives […]

We’ve all come across not-so-ideal clients in our business. It’s pretty much inevitable in the beginning. Ones that seems to suck all of our energy, hold small mistakes over our head and question everything we do. These clients are not only energy-sucks, but also time and money sucks. They take time away from your best […]
